HHD Fiber Holiday Arrangements

In support of Shenzhen’s hosting of APEC, HHD Fiber will operate with reduced staffing from Monday, November 16, through Friday, November 20, 2026. During this period, we’ll closely follow APEC developments and monitor any changes to shipping schedules. We’ll continue to check messages and respond to urgent matters as soon as possible.

Air Freight Delays for Shipments from Shenzhen

Cargo backlogs are delaying air shipments originating in Shenzhen, whether they fly out of Shenzhen or are routed through Hong Kong. Limited cargo space and flight schedule changes may move some Hong Kong shipments to later flights.
Our freight forwarder has advised that cargo pickup and departures on our usual route via Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport (SZX) will be suspended from November 14 to 20, 2026.
We’ll arrange shipment for completed orders as soon as possible and aim to dispatch them before the holiday. Some shipments already with our freight forwarder are still awaiting a flight and may arrive later than expected.
If your order for tactical or armored fiber optic cables has already been delayed, we appreciate your patience and understanding.
We look forward to welcoming APEC delegates and visitors to Shenzhen.
